10 Principles of a Modern Sabbath

Hello Everyone,

I came across this idea while watching the religious chanel. It comes from a non-denomination organization, Sabbath Manifesto.

http://www.sabbathmanifesto.org

I find that life is flying by so fast and I don't take the time to appreciate it. So Jerry and are going to try it out with a few modifications:

1 - no computers/internet/tv. Cuddling on the couch to watch a movie or using our cell phone to meet up with friends is ok.
2 - Because of the distance to loved ones, we need a phone for this.
5 - local products, supporting local businesses is ok. No big box shopping.

10 Principles of a Modern Sabbath

1. Avoid technology
2. Connect with loved ones
3. Nurture your health
4. Get outside
5. Avoid commerce
6. Light candles
7. Drink wine
8. Eat bread
9. Find silence
10. Give back

I like their concept as they have these 10 items as suggestions - how you interpret it is up to you. I've done a few "no computer" weekends and felt so relaxed and refreshed by Sunday night.

Have a great day!
